The winter has proved to be one of unusual severity and has damaged the cement on Rowayton avenue be- tween Guider's corner and the school house, to a considerable extent. The frost has evidently gotten under it and caused the road to bulge in sev- eral places. There is something radically wrong with the catch’ basins and drainage system. as large pools of water form in many places on this road. which'is a great an- noyance to pedestrians from the splashing of water by passing auto- mobiles. .

"Go on." he said grufny. his voice muffled by the huge wed in his cheek. And then. the while he punctuated his sentences with deep lnhalaiions of his clgarel, Rand told him about Mary Lowell.
